False. Linux/m68k is at least as stable as Linux on Intel, Alpha,
PowerPC and Sparc systems (all of which have, like Linux/m68k, at
least one "major" distribution available). Furthermore, Linux/m68k
was the first stable port of Linux to any other (non-Intel) processor.

There is development on additional hardware drivers and additional
machine ports (like implementations for the Macintosh, Apollo and
Sun 3), but this is the same "development" that is underway on
other platforms.

As an illustration of Linux/m68k's stability, a recent report on the
mailing list said that a 68030-based Amiga 1200 had been running a
2.0.29 kernel for 24 hours a day for 363 days without a system crash,
while serving as a web server and providing file, news and mail
services to several other machines.

False. Over 1750 people have registered using Linux/m68k (and
registering is strictly optional; please see the Linux/m68k
Registration Site for up-to-date figures). Many hundreds more
are using it on systems without Internet connections.

Linux/m68k's usage on systems capable of running it is probably equivalent
to that of Linux on Intel platforms (on a percentage basis).

Over 330 people participated in the call for votes for the Usenet
newsgroup comp.os.linux.m68k, which took
place in late 1995 (when Linux/m68k was in less widespread use).

False. Linux has many features that make it preferable to NetBSD or
OpenBSD. The most impressive feature is that there is virtually no
Berkeley code in the kernel: it is written from the ground up to
comply with POSIX and other standards (XPG, SVID, etc.), and work is
underway to make it a "branded" Unix. And we're pretty nice to one
another too, which doesn't hurt.

Linux is also highly popular on Intel platforms (to a much greater
degree than BSD). This popularity, combined with 99.9&percnt; source
compatibility, means that virtually any program that runs on
Linux/i386 (and doesn't use any inherently non-portable features like
SVGAlib) can be compiled and run on Linux/m68k. It also means that
you can walk into virtually any bookstore and buy a book specifically
about your OS (try that with AmigaOS!).
